Gutter Replacement Brisbane
They may seem simple – because they are. But your gutters are actually one of your home’s hardest-working and most critical features. It’s tempting to think that a little rain runoff from your roof won’t cause much grief, but over time even the structural integrity of your very foundations will be at risk if your gutters aren’t coping with the workload. And believe it or not, our feathered friends are not on our side at all. Today, we’re talking about the importance of bird proofing gutters.

- Nest debris including twigs & sticks clogs up gutters
- Nests cause pooling gutter water
- Nests increase the risk of fire
- Pooling water breeds mosquitoes and other pests
- The extra weight worsens gutter sagging/deterioration
- The acidity in bird droppings eats away at gutter surfaces
